A LAW TO ALLOW THE EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS AND NON-JEWS IN AMERICA WAS PASSED IN 1991

Public Law 102‑14 and Its Implications To Christian Americans

105 STAT. 44 Public Law 102‑14 ‑‑ March 20, 1991 Joint Resolution To designate March 26, 1991, as "Education Day, U.S.A."

Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;

Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;

Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands  in serious peril of returning chaos;

Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society;

Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty‑ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;

Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, "the rebbe," this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of "education and giving," the year in which we turn to education charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and

Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that March 26, 1991, the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader of the world‑wide Lubavitch Movement, is designated as "Education Day, U.S.A." The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. (Approved March 20, 1991)

It is apparent that the "Seven Noahide Laws" are the real purpose of the Resolution and Public Law 102‑14. The Seven Noahide Laws themselves were not included in the Resolution nor in the Law itself, AND FOR GOOD REASON.

Since they are not commonly known to the average citizen, we should endeavor to learn what they are; and more about the so‑called "Rebbe" Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Lubavitch Movement; and what effect, if any, these laws will have upon Christian Americans in general. Particularly now that we have a NEW "law of the land."

They are not easy to find, but some encyclopedias mention them briefly. NOAHIDE LAWS, also called NOACHIAN LAWS, A Jewish Talmudic designation for seven [so‑called] Biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai and consequently on all mankind [THERE IS NO BIBLICAL PROOF FOR THIS STATEMENT].

Beginning with Genesis 2:16, the Babylonian Talmud [supposedly] listed the first six commandments as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, and robbery and the positive command TO ESTABLISH COURTS OF JUSTICE (with all that this implies). After the flood a seventh commandment given to Noah, forbade the eating of flesh cut from a living animal (Genesis 9:4).

Though the number of laws was later increased to 30 with the addition of prohibitions against castration, sorcery, and other practices, the 'seven laws,' with minor variations, retained their original status as authoritative commandments and as the source of other laws.

As basic statutes safe‑guarding monotheism and guaranteeing proper ethical conduct in society, THESE LAWS PROVIDED A LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR ALIEN RESIDENTS IN JEWISH TERRITORY [When did the United States become Jewish territory?]. Maimonides thus regarded anyone who observed these laws as one 'assured of a portion in the world to come.'

Throughout the ages scholars have viewed the Noahide Laws as a link between Judaism and Christianity [Which is totally false. Judaism and Christianity are total opposites and are deadly enemies], as universal norms of ethical conduct, AS A BASIC CONCEPT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW, or as a guarantee of fundamental human rights for all.

"The current expression 'Judeo-Christian' is an error which has altered the course of universal history by the confusion it has sown in men's mind, if by it one is meant to understand the Jewish origin of Christianity; for by abolishing the fundamental distinctions between Jewish and Christian messianism, IT SEEKS TO BRING TOGETHER TWO IDEAS THAT ARE RADICALLY IN OPPOSITION. By laying the accent exclusively on the 'Christian' idea to the detriment of the 'Judean' it conjures away monotheistic messianism - a valuable discipline at all levels of thought, and reduces it to a purely confessional messianism, preoccupied like Christian messianism with the salvation of the individual soul. If the term 'Judeo-Christian' does point to a common origin, there is no doubt that it is a most dangerous idea.

It is based on a 'contrdictio in adjecto' which has set the path of history on the wrong track. It links in one breath TWO IDEAS WHICH ARE COMPLETELY IRRECONCILABLE, IT SEEKS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT OR HOT AND COLD OR BLACK AND WHITE, and thus introduces a fatal element of confusion to a basis on which some, nevertheless, are endeavoring to construct a civilization. Christianity offers to the world a limited messianism which it wishes to impose as the only valid one ...Even Spinoza, who was further than any other thinker from the historic messianism of Israel, wrote: 'As for what certain churches say, that God assumed human nature, I must confess that this seems to me as absurd as saying that a circle assumed the shape of a square...'

The dogmatic exclusiveness professed by Christianity must finally end...It is the obstinate Christian claim to be the sole heir to Israel which propagates-anti-Semitism. This scandal must terminate sooner or later; the sooner it goes, the sooner the world will be rid of the issue of lies in which anti-Semitism shrouds itself." (Joshua Jehouda, l'Antisemitisme Miroir du Monde, pp. 135-136; Judaism and the Vatican, Vicomte Leon de Poncins, pp. 30-31)

The Jewish Encyclopedia describes Christianity as a religion espousing "ascetic monasticism," which means believing in a life of sacrifice and-self-denial in order to help others.

However, IT DESCRIBES JUDAISM AS TEACHING THE EXACT OPPOSITE {of Christianity} in that "life is good and should be endowed with material worth" {or riches}.

Also, while Christianity believes in forgiving ones enemies and even loving them, the motto of Judaism is - "Never Forgive - Never Forget."

Thus the "Judeo-Christian" ethic spoken of by Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggert, Kenneth Copel, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts and most other misled ministers is a false religion.

Note that "The Jewish Voice" ridicules it but suggest that if Christians want to subject themselves to Jewry they may do so. However, the idea of a "Judeo-Christian" faith is alien to Jewry and rejected by them.

"Judeo-Christian tradition' is a term increasingly employed to achieve a closer identification between Judaism and Christianity and may seem a most ungracious act to decline, with thanks, this invitation is a NEW 'acceptance.' It is called for that we who are Jews be wary of this new affection. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY...the 'other-world' philosophy which served as an excuse for tolerating inequities and ignorance in this world; THE HEAVY STRESS ON A SAVIOR...ALL OF THESE PHILOSOPHIES ARE ALIEN TO JUDAISM, but make up a vast part of that Christianity which is today REJECTED BY ASIA AND AFRICA. LET US NOT BE SO STUPID AS TO GET INTER-TWINED WITH THIS REJECTED WAY OF LIFE...." (The Jewish Voice, Friday, August 4, 1961, Awakening, by Rabbi Jacob Steinberg)

The following is a summary of the Seven Noahide Laws. (Institute of Judaic-Christian Researcher, Jan. 1992; The Talmud, Sanh. 56a-59b; Yad Melakhim 8:10, 9, 10)

1). Thou shalt not engage in idol worship.

2). Thou shalt not blaspheme God.

3). Thou shalt not shed innocent blood of any human nor  fetus nor ailing person who has a limited time to live.

4). Thou shalt not engage in bestial, incestuous,  adulterous or homosexual relations nor commit the act         of rape.

5). Thou shalt not steal.

6). Thou shalt ESTABLISH LAWS AND COURTS OF LAW TO ADMINISTER [enforce] THESE LAWS, INCLUDING THE DEATH PENALTY.

7). Thou shalt not be cruel to animals.

As we make a cursory examination of the "Seven Noahide Laws" one would see nothing objectionable. In fact, one would applaud any effort to remove the evil from among us; because that is what the Laws, Statutes and Judgments of God directs us to do. But there is more, much more, to these laws than first meets the eye!

The Jews say these "Seven Laws of Noah" known as the "Noahide Laws" or "Noachian Laws," (actually there are only six laws with one provision for enforcement which makes up the "Seven Noahide Laws").

So, how does the resolution passed by Congress relate to these laws? The United States is considered by many Jews as "THEIR" stronghold and "THEIR" headquarters for eventual world domination.

In a recent article published in "Wellsprings" the head rabbi of Hasidic Jewry stated: "...America has become the focus and fountain-head of Jewish survival. Providence has prepared a new home for Torah and Yiddishkeit in this country...The largest concentration of our best elements are in America. We must lead the smaller Jewish communities in other countries and continents, even in Erety Israel [Israel-Palestine], which must learn heavily on American support for its economic and spiritual survival."

The "Seven Laws of Noah," according to Hasidic Jews, SHOULD BE ENFORCED UPON ALL NON‑JEWS [this means the Blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Arabs, and etc., as well as Christians] BY THE JEWS THEMSELVES: "... the entire context of the Talmudic discussion of the Noachide Laws is that of actual ENFORCEMENT BY RABBINIC COURTS."

The Jews say these laws were given to Noah by their god for the orderly government of all people, BUT JEWS WERE GIVEN ANOTHER SET OF LAWS at Mount Sinai much later, SO THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE NOAHIDE LAWS but rather to the later ones, except, of course, for those Noahide Laws that were repeated at Sinai. Also the Jews WOULD NOT PAY THE SAME PENALTY FOR VIOLATING THESE LAWS.

The Jewish Encyclopedia, page 649 states: "In the case of murder, if the Noachide slay a child in its mother's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of ('terefah'), or if he cause the death of a person by starving him or putting him before a lion so that he can not escape, or if he slay a man in self‑defense, THE NOACHIDE IS GUILTY OF MURDER AND MUST PAY THE DEATH PENALTY, ALTHOUGH UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AN ISRAELITE [Jew] WOULD NOT BE EXECUTED."

According to the Encyclopedia Judaica the death penalty would be: "...violation of any one of the seven laws SUBJECTS THE NOACHIDE TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BY DECAPITATION."

Notice Congress and the President are giving acclamation to a Talmudic Jewish Rabbi called "the rebbe." Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whom the "Current Biography Yearbook 1983" states on page 355: "[Born] April 18, 1902 [Not March 26 as stated in Public Law 102‑14]; leader of Habad (Lubavitch) Hasidim...' As Rebbe, or spiritual head, of the Lubavitch Hasidim, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson is one of the most important figures in American and world Jewry...Hasid and the hasidic community from his own all‑pervasive radiance, attained through his mystic union with God. This union and the ensuing enrichment of his soul are used for the sake of the people, TO LEAD THEM LOVINGLY TO THEIR CREATOR. The zaddik IS A MYSTIC who employs his power within the social community and for its sake. A wonder‑healer and miracle‑worker, in the eyes of his followers HE IS A COMBINATION OF CONFESSOR, MORAL INSTRUCTOR, AND PRACTICAL ADVISER. Also a theoretical teacher and exegetical preacher, with a style of preaching peculiar to zaddikim, he expounds his hasidic torah (Hebrew for the teaching of the zaddimim) at his table (in hasidic parance der tish) surrounded by his followers, generally during the third meal on the Sabbath (se'ndah shelishit). For the individual Hasid, joining the court of his zaddik is both a pilgrimage and a revitalizing unification with the brotherhood gathered at the court, united around and through the zaddik.

The Hasid journeyed to his zaddik's court at least for the High Holidays (although this practice later weakened) to seek his blessing, which was also entreated from afar. He submitted a written account of his problems (known as a kvitl), usually accompanying this with A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION (pidyon, short FOR pidyon nefesh, 'REDEMPTION OF THE SOUL')...

BASIC IDEAS OF HASIDISM: — Creator and Universe. While it is true that many of the basic ideas of Hasidism are grounded in earlier Jewish sources, the Hasidim did produce much that was new if only by emphasis. With few exceptions, hasidic ideas are not presented systematically in the hasidic writings, but an examination of these writings reveals certain patterns common to all the hasidic masters.

Central to hasidic thought is an elaboration of the idea found in the Lurianic Kabbalah, THAT GOD 'WITHDREW FROM HIMSELF INTO HIMSELF' IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE PRIMORDIAL 'EMPTY SPACE' INTO WHICH THE FINITE WORLD COULD EVENTUALLY EMERGE AFTER A LONG PROCESS OF EMANATIONS.

The redemption of the 'holy sparks' was one of the rea­sons given for hasidic fondness for tobacco. SMOKING A PIPE SERVED TO RELEASE SUBTLE 'SPARKS' NOT OTHERWISE ACCESSIBLE.

JEWISH ZADDIK SAID TO BRING JEWS CLOSER TO THEIR GOD!: Kavannah and Zaddikism. Is this program of sustained contemplation, attachment, and utter devotion to God really possible for all men? The hasidic answer is generally in the negative. This is why the doctrine of zaddikism is so important for Hasidism. The holy man, his thoughts constantly on God, raises the prayers of his followers and all their other thoughts and actions. In the comprehensive work on zaddikism, R. Elimelech of Lyzhansk's No'am Elimelekh, the zaddik appears as a spiritual superman, with the power to work miracles.

HE IS THE CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THE DIVINE GRACE FLOWS, THE MAN TO WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN CONTROL OF THE UNIVERSE BY HIS PRAYERS. THE ZADDIK PERFORMS A DOUBLE TASK: HE BRINGS MAN NEARER TO GOD AND HE BRINGS DOWN GOD'S BOUNTY TO MAN. [In other words, on every hand the so-called Zaddik is trying to replace the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus denying the Word of God] The zaddik must be supported by his followers. This financial assistance is not for the sake of the zaddik but for the sake of those privileged to help him. By supporting the zaddik with their worldly goods his followers become attached to him through his dependence on them, which he readily accepts in his love for them.

JEWISH ZADDIK HAS POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH: Their welfare thus becomes his and his prayers on their behalf can the more readily be answered. THE ZADDIK EVEN HAS POWERS OVER LIFE AND DEATH. GOD MAY HAVE DECREED THAT A PERSON SHOULD DIE BUT THE PRAYERS OF THE ZADDIK CAN NULLIFY THIS DECREE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE ZADDIK'S SOUL IS SO PURE AND ELEVATED THAT IT CAN REACH TO THOSE WORLDS IN WHICH NO DECREE HAS BEEN PROMULGATED SINCE THERE ONLY MERCY REIGNS. But if such powers were evidently denied to the great ones of the past how does the Zaddik come to have them? The rationale is contained in the parable attributed to the Maggid of Mezhirech (No'am Elimelekh to Genesis 37:1).

Rabbi Michael Katz, a well known student of the Talmud, states that it is the considered opinion of acclaimed TALMUDIC SCHOLARS that there are actually thirty commandments that are Noadic and apply to all non‑Jewish people but that ONLY THE 'SEVEN NOAHIDE LAWS' ARE PUNISHABLE BY EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS BY JEWS THROUGH JEWISH 'NOAHIDE' COURTS! The Talmud says that the first six of these precepts were given originally by God to Adam, and the seventh afterward to Noah. These precepts were designed to be obligatory on all the Noachide, OR DESCENDANTS OF NOAH, AND CONSEQUENTLY, FROM THE TIME OF MOSES, THE JEWS WOULD NOT SUFFER A STRANGER TO LIVE AMONG THEM UNLESS HE OBSERVED THESE PRECEPTS, AND NEVER GAVE QUARTER IN BATTLE TO AN ENEMY WHO WAS IGNORANT OF THEM."

Now we turn once again to the Jewish Encyclopedia: HADAD: "NAME OF AN Arama­ic...EDOMITISH, DEITY..." (Taken from the 1971 edition of the Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol. XII, pp. 1189‑1191)

"NOACHIDE LAWS, the seven laws considered by rabbinic tradition as the minimal moral duties enjoined by the Bible on all men (Sanh. 56‑60; Yad. Melakhim, 8:10; 10:12)...

The seven Noachide laws as traditionally enumerated are; the prohibitions of idolatry, blasphemy, bloodshed, sexual sins, theft, and eating from a living animal, AS WELL AS THE INJUNCTION TO ESTABLISH A LEGAL SYSTEM (Tosef., Av. Zar. 8:4; Sanh. 56a). Except for the last, all are negative, and the last itself is usually interpreted as commanding the enforcement of the other (Maim. Yad, Melakhim, 9:1). They are derived exegetically from divine demands addressed to Adam (Genesis 2:16) and Noah (see Gen. R. 34; Sanh. 59b), i.e., the progenitors of all mankind, and are thus regarded as universal.

The attempt of Finkelstein (op. cit.) to date the formulation of the seven Noachide commandments during the Hasmonean era would also suggest a rabbinic concern with the actual legal status of the non‑Jew in a sovereign Jewish state. It might even be the case that the substitution by the tanna of the school of Manasseh of emasculation and forbidden mixtures of plants for the establishment of a judicial system and blasphemy (Sanh. 56b) itself reflects a concern with the regulation of the life of the resident alien already under the jurisdiction of Jewish courts.

Of course, the seven commandments themselves are subject to either interpretation; e.g., the establishment of courts of justice can mean either an independent non‑Jewish judiciary and legal system or can simply bring the non‑Jew under the rubic Jewish civil law and its judicial system.

LIABILITY FOR VIOLATION OF THE LAWS. While committed to the principle that 'There is nothing permitted to an Israelite yet forbidden to a heathen' (Sanh. 59a), the seven Noachide Laws were not as extensive as the parallel prohibitions applicable to Jews, and there are indeed situations in which a non‑Jew would be liable for committing an act for which a Jew would not be liable.

As to the latter point, as a general rule, the Noachide is criminally liable for violation of any of his seven laws even though technical definition limitations would prevent liability by a Jew performing the same act. Thus a non‑Jew is liable for blasphemy ‑‑ even if only with one of the divine attributes; murder even of a foetus (Embryo): robbery ‑‑ even of less than a perutah; and the eating of flesh torn from a living animal ‑‑ even of a quantity less than the size of an olive. IN ALL THESE CASES A JEW WOULD NOT BE LIABLE (Sanh. 56a‑ 59b; Yad. Melakhim, ch. 9, 10). One additional element of greater severity IS that VIOLATION OF ANY ONE OF THE SEVEN LAWS SUBJECTS THE NOACHIDE TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BY DECAPITATION (Sanh. 57a).

The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 8, pages 648‑649, describes the Noahide Laws as follows: "LAWS, NOACHIAN: Laws which are supposed by the Rabbis to have been binding upon mankind at large even before the revelation at Sinai and which are still binding upon non‑Jews. The term Noachian indicates the universality of these ordinances, since the whole human race was supposed to be descended from the three sons of Noah who alone survived the flood...The Noachide ARE REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH COURTS OF JUSTICE IN EVERY CITY AND PROVINCE; and THESE COURTS ARE TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE WITH REGARD TO THE SIX LAWS and to warn them against the transgression of any of them. In the case of murder, if the Noachid slay a child in its mother's womb, or kill a person whose life is despaired of ('terefah'), or if he cause the death of a person by starving him or by putting him before a lion so that he can not escape, or if he slay a man in self‑defense THE NOACHID IS GUILTY OF MURDER AND MUST PAY THE DEATH‑ PENALTY, although UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES A JEW WOULD NOT BE EXECUTED (ibid. 57b; 'Yad.' l.c. ix.4).

The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, by Massa DGH, p. 1178 relates: "Laws of Noah: Seven laws which the rabbis hold binding upon all mankind, derived from early chapters of Gen. (e.g., 9:4‑7). Six of these laws are negative, prohibiting idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, robbery, and the eating of flesh cut from a living animal. The single positive commandment is that REQUIRING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COURTS OF JUSTICE. The 'Noachide Laws' were much discussed by European scholars in the 17th century in connection with the Laws of Nations."

When we study the Lubavitch Movement we can begin to understand the depths of the conspiracy. We can now understand why the understanding of the Millennium had to be changed.

We can now more completely understand the true meaning of the multitude of quotes made by famous Rabbis and other Communists. We can now understand the true meaning of the term Judeo‑Christianity. The Lubavitch Movement is one of the guiding influences in the concept of the Jewish Millennium and their messiah.

The Lubavitch Movement, as we have shown, teaches that the Seven Noahide Laws are applicable to all non‑Jews and that the Jews of the world are obliged to enforce those laws.

The penalty for breaking those laws is DEATH BY DECAPITATION. At the same time, the Jews themselves are under Talmudic Laws and not the Noahide Laws they say. Thus, they can violate the Noahide Laws without punishment.

Now we can understand why it was so important for the doctrines of the Christian church to be changed to declare that the Laws, Statutes and Judgments of God done away with by the advent of Christ. For the longest period of time during the Christian Kingdom, we believed and practiced the Mosaic Laws. It was imperative that they relegate us to the Noahide Laws while only the Jews will keep the Talmudic Laws.

The Lubavitch Movement under Rabbi Menachem Schneerson teaches from the Talmud that any Jewish man can be the messiah. Further, they teach that the Jewish Millennium is to be ushered in at any moment with the naming of their messiah. If we combine the works of the Lubavitch Movement with the final drive for the one world movement that is now being pushed, we are seeing the final preparations for the Jewish utopia or millennium.

Now we can understand what THE TERM JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY MEANS: THE SUBMISSION OF CHRISTIANITY TO THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND RELIGIOUS PRECEPTS OF JUDAISM. The Economic Factor in the Conspiracy. The proposed Jewish Millennium must have an economic system. The Christian Kingdom of God here on Earth had an economic system and it was called money capitalism. There is a vast difference between the two systems.

They speak of high and lofty morals BUT WHERE ARE THEY? How did we wind up with sex execution in schools; with Queers and perverts handing out Condoms in the schools; pornographic stores; filthy movies on the screen and on television; free love; etc.?

Why do we have fourth generation families on welfare? where is this "MOTIVATING IMPULSE FOR THE WELFARE OF THE COMMON MAN?"

YES THE PREACHERS OF TODAY ARE COWARDS. THEY ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH SO THEY LIE EVERY SUNDAY MORNING AND NIGHT. THEY COWARDLY HIDE BEHIND SUCH STATEMENTS AS; "HE/SHE IS A RADICAL" "A RIGHT‑WING FANATIC" "A NEO‑NAZI" "AN ANTI‑SEMITIC" OR SOME OTHER SUCH STUPID NONSENSE BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID TO EVEN LOOK UPON THE TRUTH!

Some of the greatest philosophers of recent times, and those the Talmudic system hates with a passion, give us the clues. Oswald Spengler, Francis Yockey and Hegel all tell us of nationalism. That means ethnic, morality, racial and tribal. Each of them taught of the one great folly of the White, Celto‑Saxon, Teutonic Christian West. As a people we have gone to the four corners of the world and brought other cultures to live with us and we have tried to make them over in our own image. We have tried to play God.

LUBAVITCH SECT CLAIMS ITS LEADER IS THE MESSIAH: The followers of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, claim that he is the "Messiah." As evidence of this claim, followers cite Schneerson's predictions of the fall of Communism, the exodus of Soviet Jews to Israel, and the relatively little damage suffered by Israel during Iraq's Scud attacks on the Zionist State during the so‑called Gulf War.

The fact that the "Rebbe" as Schneerson is called, has recently suffered a stroke has not diminished his appeal as the "Messiah" in the eyes of his followers.

This is not surprising as the Jews trout out a new "Messiah" every 200‑300 years, as can be seen by an examination of the Jewish Chronology in the Jewish Encyclopedia.

400 A.D. Moses, the false Messiah of Crete.

721 A.D. Appearance of the false Messiah Serenus in        Syria causes many Spanish Jews to emigrate to Palestine.

1117 A.D. Persecution at Rome; appearance of a false       Messiah at Cordova.

1156 A.D. Jews of Persia persecuted on account of  pseudo‑Messiah, David Alroy.

1502. A.D. Appearance of the pseudo‑Messiah Asher  Lämmlein.

1568. A.D. Isaac Luria Levi (1534‑72), a cabalist,  pretends to be the Messiah, son of Joseph.

1665. A.D. Shabbethai Zebi (1626‑1676) publicly accepted as the Messiah at Smyrna.

1678. A.D. Appearance of the pseudo‑Messiah Mordecai   Moshiah of Eisenstadt.

1992. A.D. And now - Menachem Schneerson, the former leader of The Lubavitch Movement in the U.S.
